Words Of Wisdom For President G.W. Bush

Mr. President, if I may paraphrase General Eisenhower when speaking about Korea, he said, “I’m going to bring our troops home-now.” And he did. You should do the same in Iraq before more get killed, maimed or mentally disturbed. The only way you can conquer Iraq, as I said back when the war started, was to kill all Iraqis. Unfortunately, you and General Abizaid and the insane General Mattis, are doing a good job of that.

At this point, Mr. President, I must ask you an important question, “Do you remember what Jesus Christ said, or are you caught up in some other religious theology?”

Mr. President, to paraphrase Ronald Reagan when speaking to the Russians, “Tear that wall down!” You should do the same to Sharon, tell him to “Tear that wall down, and set the Palestinians free.” If you don’t, then the bloodshed will continue and may even come over to America when the Palestinians have had enough of the Israelis and you.

Mr. President, why would you keep a man in office who has committed war crimes and intends to commit more? Your good friend, Donald Rumsfeld, had to bargain before he could go to the NATO meeting in Germany and Brussels so that he would not be arrested for “war crimes”. What kind of men have you surrounded yourself with.

Mr. President, let me not forget, Mr. President, Albert Gonzales, the man who said the Geneva Conventions were “out of date,” and “could be ignored.” And imagine, Mr. President, you’ve made him, Attorney General of the U.S. How low did you have to go to get such a bottom dweller to work for you-but of course, that may be why you chose him.

Mr. President, you and I know the country is going broke and yet you keep splurging money on Iraq and Afghan campaigns. What will you do to help Americans keep their jobs, pay their bills, get universal health care, get cheaper prescription drugs, help the homeless find shelter and the elderly survive? Only God may judge you, but if you continue your present path, then you will surely end up in Hell. Anyone who can’t see this, must be a part of the devil’s deceptive army, especially among those who surround you.

Mr. President, do you think Conde Rice loves you more than Laura Bush does? I think often of that Freudian slip she made, by calling you her husband. We all have our suspicions, but you had best stick with Laura Bush, she’s classier than either you, Hillary Clinton or Conde Rice. We have great sympathy for Laura Bush and for your father, they must keep defending you though they both know how wrong you are in your ongoing warfare and support of your warfare-loving friends in the cabinet and at Halliburton.

Mr. President, have you ever taken a good look at the evil in the eyes of Dick Cheney. Have you ever thought of how Tom DeLay twists his mouth, kind of like the way Dante described the devil’s way. Have you ever thought about how much Dennis Hastert resembles a pig, not only in his belly but in his ways as leader of the House? Some say that he should have been put in a pen in the pig farm you bought during your first presidential campaign and then called it a “ranch!” aha, Mr. President, you are funny.

Just a few words Mr. President. Last but not least, I hope you will see the faces of every single American person killed, maimed and gone mad in Iraq-may they stay with you until the end of your days, and may the haunt you with their needless deaths. While you are at it, you should keep an eye on the more than 100,000 Iraqis you’ve killed, the more than 250,000 wounded and the million children who have been emotionally and physically scarred for life because of your illegal, immoral and unjust war on the Iraqi people. Surely, God will make you answer for these sins. As they say, “We leave it to God for God is most just and God will surely punish the wicked and vain.”

RE: Laura Bush

I work with battered women. Laura Bush may not show up with a black eye, but she certainly acts like a woman who is being abused. It is common knowledge that W won’t answer questions that make him angry and he angers easily. Nor does he accept any critical analyses regarding any action he has taken. Based on his temperment seen in public, my education and experience, I’d bet money he is an abusive husband.
His attitudes on womens’ issues is also a give away.....he has cut funding each year for domestic violence prevention, education and shelters. Domestic violence cuts across all incomes, races and faiths. However, faith-based can do it better than those "feminists", says W. To W it’s all really simple-clergy just needs to tell the women to "submit", so their wife-beating husbands won’t HAVE to knock them around anymore...

The far-right in Ukraine are acting as the vanguard of a protest movement that is being reported as pro-democracy. The situation on the ground is not as simple as pro-EU and trade versus pro-Putin and Russian hegemony in the region.
When US Senator John McCain dined with Ukraine’s opposition leaders in December, he shared a table and later a stage with the leader of the extreme far-right Svoboda party Oleh Tyahnybok.
This is Oleh Tyahnybok, he has claimed a "Moscow-Jewish mafia" (...)

We, the undersigned, who are part of an international civil society increasingly worried about the awful bloodshed of the Syrian people, are supporting a political initiative based on the results of a fact-finding mission which some of our colleagues undertook to Beirut and Damascus in September 2012. This initiative consists in calling for a delegation of highranking personalities and public figures to go to Syria in order to (...)

At first glance, the results of America’s 2012 election appear to be a triumph for social, racial, and economic justice and progress in the United States: California voters passed a proposition requiring the rich to shoulder their fair share of the tax burden; Two states, Colorado and Washington, legalized the recreational use of marijuana, while Massachusetts approved the use of marijuana for medical purposes; Washington and two other states, Maine and Maryland, legalized same-sex (...)

In a 2004 episode of Comedy Central’s animated series South Park, an election was held to determine whether the new mascot for the town’s elementary school would be a “giant douche” or a “turd sandwich.” Confronted with these two equally unpalatable choices, one child, Stan Marsh, refused to vote at all, which resulted in his ostracization and subsequent banishment from the town.
Although this satirical vulgarity was intended as a commentary on the two (...)

If there is one major inconsistency in life, it is that young people who know little more than family, friends and school are suddenly, at the age of eighteen, supposed to decide what they want to do for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, because of their limited life experiences, the illusions they have about certain occupations do not always comport to the realities.
I discovered this the first time I went to college. About a year into my studies, I (...)

Disillusioned with the machinations of so-called “traditional” colleges, I became an adjunct instructor at several “for-profit” colleges.
Thanks largely to the power and pervasiveness of the Internet, “for-profit” colleges (hereinafter for-profits) have become a growing phenomenon in America. They have also been the subject of much political debate and the focus of a Frontline special entitled College Inc.
Unlike traditional (...)

Several years ago, a young lady came into the college where I was teaching to inquire about a full-time instructor’s position in the sociology department. She was advised that only adjunct positions were available. Her response was, “No thanks. Once an adjunct, always an adjunct.”
Her words still echo in my mind.
Even as colleges and universities raise their tuition costs, they are relying more and more on adjunct instructors. Adjuncts are (...)

When The Bill of Rights was added to the United States Constitution over two hundred years ago, Americans were blessed with many rights considered to be “fundamental.” One conspicuously missing, however, was the right to an education.
This was not surprising given the tenor of the times. America was primarily an agrarian culture, and education, especially higher education, was viewed as a privilege reserved for the children of the rich and (...)

If there is one universal question that haunts all human beings at some point in their lives, it is, “Why do we die?”
Death, after all, is the great illogic. It ultimately claims all, the rich and the poor, the mighty and the small, the good and the evil. Death also has the capability to make most human pursuits—such as the quest for wealth, fame and power—vacuous and fleeting.
Given this reality, I have often wondered why so many people are still willing to (...)

How much corruption can a “democracy” endure before it ceases to be a democracy?
If five venal, mendacious, duplicitous, amoral, biased and (dare I say it) satanic Supreme Court “justices”—John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Anthony Kennedy—have their way, America will soon find out.
In several previous articles for Pravda.Ru, I have consistently warned how the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision is one of the (...)

Imagine, if you will, that the United States government passes a law banning advertisers from sponsoring commercials on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show or Rupert Murdoch’s Fox (Faux) “News” Network.
On one hand, there would be two decided advantages to this ban: The National IQ would undoubtedly increase several percentage points, and manipulative pseudo-journalists would no longer be able to appeal to the basest instincts in human nature for ratings and profit while (...)

LIVE, from the State that brought you Senator Joseph McCarthy, Wisconsin voters now proudly present, fresh from his recall election victory, Governor Scott Walker!
At first glance, it is almost unfathomable that anyone with a modicum of intelligence would have voted to retain Scott Walker as Wisconsin’s governor. This, after all, is a man who openly declared he is trying to destroy the rights of workers through a “divide and conquer” strategy; who received 61% of the (...)

A question I’ve frequently been asked since I began writing for Pravda.Ru in 2003 is, “Why did you become disillusioned with the practice of law?”
This question is understandable, particularly since, in most people’s minds, being an attorney is synonymous with wealth and political power.
I’ve always been reluctant to answer this question for fear it will discourage conscientious and ethical people from pursuing careers in the legal profession—a (...)
